Avlio, having brouglit his frauds 

 to a climax, ishoots himself. His 

 friend. Jack Eardley, secretary to 

 the Minister for Foreign Affairs, 

 O'Brien and his sister, and Eard- 

 lev's half-French wife are so well 

 described that we feel that if 

 ever we came in contact with them 

 we should recognise them at once. 

 Oliver's recipe for the troubles of 

 his life is " Forget yourself in 

 healing others." The haven he 

 oomes to is a happy one, though 

 we realise that the bliss will be 

 qualified as it is in ordinary life. 



Mary All Alone. By John Oxen- 

 ham. (Methuen. 3s. 6d.) 



A fine story of a girl, the daugh- 

 ter of an officer killed in India, 

 who, by various circumstances, 

 finds soon after her arrival in Eng- 

 land that she is absolutely desti- 

 tute. Beautiful, educated but un- 

 trained, she naturally finds great 

 difficulty in earning her living, 

 so that it is with relief we find 

 Mary coming into lier own at last. 



77! e Toll of the Thlc. By Theodore 

 G. Roberts. (Werner Laurie. 

 6s.) 



Tliis story of the wreckers on the 

 coast of Newfoundland is iiniqiie 

 in some waj'S, and Black Denis 

 Nolan, a swashbuckler of the old 

 days, is a notable figure. 



Sir (rdhihad of the Army. By Ham- 

 ilton Drumniond. (Stanley 

 Paul. 6s.) 



A fine romance of the period of 

 Charles VII. of France, the un- 

 fortunate son of Louis XI. The 

 young king is made to appear of 

 sterner stuff than the old records 

 allow, a knight-errant upon oc- 

 casion. The scene is laid in Italy, 

 and tilie story of love, adventure, 

 and fighting of one of his knights 

 is enthralling. 



The Threr Blacl- Stones. Bv K. 

 E. Cogswell. (Relfe Bros. 

 2s. net.) 



Charming original fairy stories, 

 with morals delicately interwoven. 

 The illustrations are by ^laud 

 Fabian, whose lamented death 

 soon after her pictures had been 

 accepted by the Royal Academy 

 gives a further interest to the 

 book. 



The Bed Harvest. Bv Newman 

 Flower. (Cassell. 3s. 6d.) 



^\'ritten befo)-e the outbreak of 

 tliel Balkan War, this novel gives 

 a good idea of the reasons for 

 the enmity between Serbs and 

 Austrians, the hatred of Queen 

 Draga, and the preference of the 

 people for the Karageorgevich 

 o\ er the Obrenovich dynasty. But 

 it would be a good novel even if
